HHOTec bring their scam from Carolina to the UK

without comments

HHO Tek, an American pseudo-green company, actually a company selling several scams, have popped up in  UK / Europe in a town called Mountain Ash which is about 10 miles north of Cardiff in South Wales.

HHO Tec’s website has improved massively since I last saw it, and so has the sophistication and language used, but it is all risible nonsense, all bullshit dressed up as science, all a complete scam, con men after your money while pretending to be trying to save you cash and the environment at the same time.

They guarantee to improve your vehicle’s mileage performance by 22% using a system which has been show to not work, a “Platinum Fuel Saver”. The American version of the Environment Agency, the EPA, wrote a report ( read it here ) on Platinum-based combustion enhancers back in 1991,  the conclusion was that the device had no significant effect on either economy or emissions. Following this testing in 2002 the company in question were fined $75,000 for making false claims, they subsequently lost their 2004 appeal too.

If you still think it may be worth trying one answer me these questions; where is this extra 22% of energy coming from and nd why has this “technology” not been picked up by any government or car manufacturer?

The answer to the first question is that there is nowhere for the energy to come from, there is no extra energy, engines burn upwards of 99% of their fuel so the maximum possible improvement would be only 1%, and that is assuming it worked which it does not.

The answer to the second is that it is such obvious claptrap that no one with any science education will touch preposterous pseudo-science like this with a barge pole, anyone who knows what they are talking about knows this is a scam.
